Gilda’s Club Twin Cities

The past few weeks have been hectic, and I have been involved with so many great projects and events that I am going to try to catch you up to speed here on the blog!

One of the great events I was able to cover was a banquet for Gilda’s Club Twin Cities ! Gilda’s Club was started by Gilda Radner (you probably remember her from the 80’s SNL) and was designed as a place for anyone with cancer to be able to receive treatment and not be alone throughout the process. There were some really touching stories and totally amazing people. I am honored that one of my clients asked me if I would be interested in being a part of it!

Jenni Lilledahl (co-owner of Dudley Riggs Brave New Workshop) decided six years ago that we needed a Gilda’s Club here in the Twin Cities after she lost her sister to cancer; Artist Tony Whelihan unveiled a beautiful piece of 3D art that will hang in Gilda’s Club; ten-year-old Noah told his story about having cancer when he was two; and we heard amazing details of what the club will be like when it opens here in the Twin Cities next year!! The red door is one of the trademarks of Gilda’s Club ~ it is the door that will welcome you to the club! I am truly blessed to be able to work with so really fantastic organizations!
